Summer’s ICEE Guide: Walmart

Walmart used to be an awesome ICEE location. It had the right sizes, the standard flavors, and good pricing. Alas, a year or so ago, they dropped down to only having medium and jacked up the price. Still, if you’re in a bind and you’re already there, it isn’t the worse place to go.

There are three Walmart locations in Bryan-College Station at this point. Two in Bryan, one in College Station. All three have ICEE machines, and if I remember correctly, all three are the same configuration (I haven’t been to the older Bryan Walmart in a while). The older Bryan location’s (#322) is inside a McDonald’s, while the other two are inside a Subway.

I am presuming all three have the same pricing schema at this point, since the newer Bryan one and the College Station one changed at the same time. If I learn otherwise, I’ll update this listing accordingly.

(Sorry the pic of the machine is a bit blurry, harder to get the ones behind the counter with my phone)

Sizes & Costs

Flavors

Walmart has a three flavor machine, with the standard trio of Coke, Cherry, and Blue Raspberry. The flavors are consistent year round.

Quality

Walmart machines are generally well-maintained and up most of the time, probably in part to being much like Sams where they are poured for you by someone working the counter rather than being self-serve. The consistency is fairly, well, consistent as well. 🙂

Their ICEE is served in traditional cup (though a variant that doesn’t list the size) and the requisite red straws.
